Re: What A Palava
I was told not to put shredded paper in the Recycle bin by a friend so to check this info was correct I rang the council and they said DO NOT put it in the recycle bin as it clogs up all the machinery and to put it in the black bin as it would rot down as soon as it is wet.18-07-2015, 07:05 PM

I'm all for recycling but why we can't have joined up thinking across the country beats me. Every Council seems to recycle items in different ways and the do's and don'ts differ from one area to another. Regarding shredded paper - you can compost it, preferably in small layers between other "stuff" and if you know any farmers who overwinter sheep indoors they will use it for bedding - and then it all goes onto into a muck heap and back on the fields eventually.

If I can help keep the sheep warm then I am one happy lass
